As readers of this blog know, I love astronomy, and I believe absolutely everything I read in the Bible. I also do really deep dives into things most people completely ignore. This brings me to the Star of the Magi. The Star of the Magi is what I have named both the “Star in the…
The Fauci Deposition
The state of Missouri and Louisiana and several other attorneys general are suing the federal government “seeking to expose that the federal government has worked hand-in-hand with social media companies to censor freedom of speech on their platforms.” As a part of this lawsuit, they deposed Dr. Anthony Fauci on November 23, 2022. Do you…
What is a Nation? Preliminary Thoughts Before Reading “The Case for Christian Nationalism.”
If you’re on the Christian internet, you know that lots of people are buying, reading, critiquing, reacting, and getting all up in a tizzy over the new book by Stephen Wolfe called “The Case for Christian Nationalism.” You might also know that there is a side-controversy about a guy named “Thomas Achord,” who apparently was…
EXCLUSIVE: Complaint of David and Mary Sills vs. Jennifer Lyell, Al Mohler, and Almost Everyone in the SBC World
This is apparently the third post in a series, which I did not expect to write. About six months ago, I wrote two pieces on the travails of the Southern Baptist Convention, the “sexual abuse” scandal, and the Guidepost Solutions Report which investigated those issues. Links to those posts are below: In the second one…
The Forgotten Liberal Art: Upcoming Book by J. Caleb Jones
This post is written to announce that I am writing a book. If you would like more information on this book please see the contact form below, which I have strategically placed at the end of this post, so I will get credit for all of the ads you will need to scroll through. The…
Who Opened the Door of the Pelosi Home on the Night of Paul Pelosi’s Attack? Read to Find Out.
On October 28, 2022, a strange man named David Depape entered the home of the speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi. This is a STRANGE event, to say the least. And not only is the attack strange, the reaction to the attack was also strange. But not only was the reaction strange, the reaction to…
The “Salt of the Earth” Is Probably Not Who You Think It Is
In Matthew 5, Jesus gives his Sermon on the Mount. He starts out with the well-known beatitudes: Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are those…
Numbers 30, the Vows of Women, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ
I recently noticed something in the Old Testament that is quite striking when you think about it. It seems to be something that looks “sexist,” and certainly out of date. However, it has an application that is EXTREMELY significant to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Therefore, I think it is worth being explored. A Sticky…
Human Origins And The Bible: Solving the Genesis Population Problem
Most traditional evangelical Christians believe that Adam and Eve were the first (and at one point, the ONLY) human beings in existence in the relatively recent past. I count myself among them. I don’t “believe in” theistic evolution, and I also don’t “believe in” evolution in general. While things obviously evolve, any use of “evolution”…
The Coherent Creation Account of Genesis 1 and Genesis 2
Genesis 1 and 2 contain the creation account in the Bible. The problem is, they are quite different. As such, there is a great deal of commentary about how they are supposed to fit together, even though there is great difficulty in making this happen. The general idea about Genesis 1 and 2 among Christians…
The Irregular Passage of Time Between Heaven and Earth in the Bible
This is a strange post, but one that I hope will be deeply informative. I am discussing the strange issue of the passage of time in the Bible, and I will concentrate on one of the clearest examples of the irregular passage of time. It appears in the book of Exodus. Most people know that…
The Resurrection of Lazarus Explained
This post is the fifth and final of a series that explains the seven signs in the gospel of John. Important in this series is the difference between a sign and a miracle. See this previous post to understand that difference. To summarize, a “sign” is something that has the elements of an analogy or…
